The 14th & Final addition to NOVELLA.
I'm proud to announce that I have written the 14th track for the Novella Album, even thought the 13 tracks that I had already written were sufficient, I still felt that something was missing.
Since I've learned the word "Totem", I've been wanting to write a song for it, and my concept album provided the perfect opportunity, I just wasn't able to piece it all together. I sat down one day and actually composed the chord progression that I wanted to use, it also came with a melody, which I hummed to myself, but I didn't have any lyrics.
I then did a research on MY Totem and actually printed out the information so I could physically have it when I'm sitting in my bedroom's floor with the guitar :)
I was determined to craft the song using all of main points I've found in those 3 sheets of research paper..and I felt very proud that I was able to do it.
I've listened to the song SEVERAL times now, it has passed my "tarVo Test", & now I'm hearing the instruments I would like to have in the song, now comes the planning part. I need to find the people I know who play those instruments and hopefully they would honor me by accepting to play on my track, then its a very exciting down hill trip from there :)
The tarVo Test
Many of you are probably asking "what the heck is a 'tarVo Test' ?".
Its a method, or strategy that I use to determined if the song is good or not.
tarVo stems from two words: guiTAR + VOcals.
I write all my songs (excluding the songs crafted with t3N) on my guitar, they all simply start with guitar & vocals..so to me, if the song isn't pretty enough, compassionate enough, or strong enough on its own, meaning with just guitar + vocals, then I need to work on it some more.
Of course note EVERY song would pass my "tarVo Test" with flying colors, but those that do, end up being the ones that everyone love so much, such as "Tuesday Lady", "Land & Sea", & now "Shukran, My Totem". I'm extremely excited, and I can NOT wait to start sharing some more of my "tarVo" approved NOVELLA songs, including "People of the Blue Desert", which was written in ONE sitting! now that's a TRUE tarVo song in my book :)
All this will happen at the 1-Year Anniversary Show on Nov 5th featuring Sahffi & the amazing Naked Blue.
Hope to see you there.
Much Love
